|
| |  | DETROIT: GUARDS: New head coach Stan Van Gundy's system is perfect for BRANDON JENNINGS, as it is heavy on high pick-and-rolls, which is where Jennings is most dangerous. He'll never be an efficient scorer . . . Detroit gave a good chunk of change to JODIE MEEKS, so he's likely to start as a spot-up shooter when he returns from a back injury in January . . . A Tskitishvili Award-winner as one of the stars of Summer League, KENTAVIOUS CALDWELL-POPE has a shot to carve out sixth-man minutes . . . After a mini-breakout with Chicago, D.J. AUGUSTIN is the insurance policy behind Jennings. He's also a great fit for Van Gundy's system . . . WILL BYNUM has been downright solid with the second unit, but he'll have to play his way back into the rotation . . . This is a redshirt season for SPENCER DINWIDDIE as he comes back from a torn ACL. FORWARDS: They'll keep shopping JOSH SMITH, who is miscast as a 3 on this roster . . . KYLE SINGLER will continue to see solid part-time minutes. He can play both wing spots and has become a good enough threat on corner threes . . . CARON BUTLER joins a crowded frontcourt. He's evolved into a three-point specialist in the latter part of his career . . . Van Gundy is a JONAS JEREBKO believer. The stretch-4 fell out of favor the past two seasons, but he has a chance to earn a big role off the bench . . . CARTIER MARTIN gives them another athletic wing who can shoot the three . . . Euro import LUIGI DATOME was a big disappointment last season. He'll have a tough time breaking into this rotation . . . TONY MITCHELL might be looking at another year in the D-League . . . GREG MONROE is an everyday double-double threat. He'll fill the stat sheet as he plays for a contract for next season. CENTERS: ANDRE DRUMMOND is a monster on the boards with Defensive Player of the Year upside once he improves in space. Offensively, he can dunk but not much else . . . AARON GRAY is here to fill out the roster once he's cleared to return from his heart problems. | | MILWAUKEE: GUARDS: The Bucks hope to fill a gaping hole at point guard with a committee approach. BRANDON KNIGHT, an undersized, athletically-overmatched combo guard, will get first crack at the job . . . Ex-Laker KENDALL MARSHALL, a heady floor general who can't shoot or defend, is an option as well . . . KHRIS MIDDLETON, a spot-up shooter, has a good chance to retain his starting job . . . New head coach Jason Kidd will try to rebuild O.J. MAYO, who could emerge as a serviceable sixth man, but looked wholly disinterested last season . . . The arrival of Marshall likely pushes NATE WOLTERS out of the rotation. He could be ticketed for the D-League at some point this season. FORWARDS: JABARI PARKER becomes the new face of this franchise. He can score as well as facilitate the offense. The only real question is what kind of defensive effort he puts in . . . GIANNIS ANTETOKOUNMPO will be used at both forward spots and both guard spots as well. The Greek Freak is raw, but the Bucks will expand his role . . . After a season in Larry Drew's doghouse, the coaching change should bode well for ERSAN ILYASOVA. He's likely looking at a part-time role . . . JOHN HENSON will play some 4 and 5, though his lack of an offensive game limits his appeal . . . JOHNNY O'BRYANT III might push for a rotation spot once he returns from a knee injury in late November. He's one of the few big men on this team who can score around the basket . . . If DAMIEN INGLIS comes over, he's looking at a D-League stint. CENTERS: Kidd is a LARRY SANDERS believer, so after a season filled with injuries and knucklehead behavior, he'll have every chance to bounce back. When he's in the right place, he's an elite rim protector . . . Larry Drew favorite ZAZA PACHULIA is looking at a traditional back-up role now that Drew is gone. |

*Pistons-Bucks Preview* =======================
By TAYLOR BECHTOLD STATS Writer
Detroit (17-26) at Milwaukee (21-21), 7:30 p.m. EDT
After an impressive road winning streak recently ended against the Eastern Conference's top team, the Detroit Pistons hope to begin a new one against a pair of clubs which are scuffling at home.
Opening a quick trip of games on back-to-back nights, the Pistons seek an eighth victory in nine road games Saturday against the Milwaukee Bucks - losers in six of seven at the Bradley Center.
Detroit has won 12 of 15 after a 128-118 home victory over Orlando on Wednesday. The Pistons are now a factor in the postseason chase after sitting in 13th place and seven games back of the East's final playoff spot on Dec. 21.
Tom Gores said it's the most encouraging stretch the team has had since he took over as owner in 2011.
"I feel like I was brought in as a new owner to deliver something, and I feel like I'm at least delivering a part of what fans expect," he said. "I'm really proud of this team, the way they're fighting. I'm proud of (coach Stan Van Gundy) for not giving up."
Two of Detroit's three losses during this hot stretch have come against East-leading Atlanta, including Monday's 93-82 defeat that denied the Pistons (17-26) a franchise-record eighth consecutive road victory. A similar streak isn't out of the question considering the only one of their five road games before the All-Star break against an above-.500 team comes Sunday at slumping Toronto, which has lost four of six at home.
Detroit had one of its worst offensive performances in its last road game, shooting 35.4 percent against the Hawks, but bounced back with one of their best Wednesday with a season high in points while shooting 52.1 percent.
Andre Drummond had 26 points and 17 rebounds, Greg Monroe added 24 and 10, and Brandon Jennings scored 24 with a career-high 21 assists. Jennings was the first player with at least 20 points and 20 assists since Phoenix's Steve Nash on Nov. 9, 2009.
The former Milwaukee guard missed the last two meetings with the Bucks - both in November - due to a sprained thumb, and Detroit dropped both as part of a 13-game losing streak overall. The Pistons has won four of the other five meetings, including the first one this season, since Milwaukee traded Jennings to Detroit as he averaged 19.4 points and 9.4 assists.
The Bucks (21-21) have a 2-6 home record since Dec. 22, but one of those wins came in London against New York. They've followed that victory with back-to-back losses on a three-game homestand that concludes Saturday.
In its last six games at the Bradley Center, Milwaukee has averaged 93.0 points - 5.2 less than its overall mark. The Bucks missed their last five shots of Thursday's 101-99 loss to Utah.
"This has been happening to us, losing these home games," guard Jared Dudley said. "We understand we don't have a huge home-court advantage because we've got to win fans over, keep winning, keep playing hard, and that will come."
Dudley and Brandon Knight finished with 16 points apiece for the Bucks, who have lost Jabari Parker and Kendall Marshall to season-ending injuries and Larry Sanders to a 10-game suspension for violating the league's drug policy.
Knight, acquired in the Jennings deal, totaled 37 points in the first two meetings with the Pistons before scoring a season-low six in the most recent matchup.
Drummond has put up a combined 49 points and 30 boards in the past two meetings, though Detroit was outrebounded 94-75 in those defeats.
